Workers in the Gisholt Department at the Buick Company Plant #1
| Factory workers standing with their arms crossed on the plant floor in the Gisholt Department of the Buick Company Plant #1 alongside lathes, and machined parts in piles and stacks. Radial belts and overhead electrical lights are suspended from the ceiling between work stations. The department floor shows ladders, a cart and clock. The Buick Motor Company was founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1903, and moved to Flint the next year. It began using Gisholt machinery at its automotive plants around 1910. |
